The Twitter Boy of Odisha: Ajay Kumar Mohanty – A Healthcare Professional and Voice for the People
Ajay Kumar Mohanty, widely recognized in his hometown of Simulia Block, Balasore District, as The Twitter Boy, has become a symbol of hope and action for thousands. Working in the healthcare sector in Bangalore, Ajay balances his profession with a deep commitment to public service and grassroots activism in Odisha.
As the Founder and President of “Youre Not Alone Trust”, Ajay has devoted himself to resolving serious public issues affecting the daily lives of people across the state. Since 2021, through his Twitter (now X) account, he has raised and acknowledged more than 3000 public issues with various departments of the Odisha Government. Out of these, over 2000 issues have been successfully resolved, thanks to his persistence, clarity, and constant follow-ups.
His impact spans a wide range of social concerns including water and electricity problems, unissued ration cards, neglected village roads, denial of medical assistance to poor patients, and more. He has also actively intervened in the struggles of Odia migrant workers, ensuring that help reaches them wherever they are.
One such case that stands out is his recent coordination with authorities in Chennai and Coimbatore to bring back the body of a deceased migrant laborer to Odisha, helping the grieving family with dignity and urgency. His proactive efforts both online and offline have made him a familiar and respected name among administrative officials and the public alike.
Locals now fondly call him The Twitter Boy, a title that reflects his unique ability to turn digital platforms into tools of real change. While many speak, Ajay acts. And while others scroll, he solves.
Despite his full-time role in the healthcare sector, he continues to dedicate his energy and time toward social service. For Ajay, seeing people suffer without support is unacceptable.
He shares, I cannot bear to see the pain of the poor and helpless. Serving people is not my hobby, it is my mission.
With deep respect for his father, Mr Rabind Mohanty, and strong roots in Balasore, Ajay has combined modern tools with a traditional sense of duty. His engineering background and compassionate nature come together to create impact not just through systems, but through service.
In a world where social media is often seen as noise, Ajay Kumar Mohanty, The Twitter Boy of Odisha, has proven that it can be a lifeline.
